I don't care if he landed over 50 % in a round where he only throws 20 punches compared to 50-60 for the other guy who, though his % is lower, is still landing about the same amount. That's not winning.

Except DLH wasn't throwing 3x as many punches as PBF and landing the same amount. He was throwing about 30% more and landing half as many.

And while the judges don't have the exact numbers, it wasn't hard to tell that PBF was landing a lot more punches.

Punches landed aren't the only thing that judges look at during a fight.

Otherwise, the tactic of stealing a round in the last :30 wouldn't be as effective as it is in many fights.
